[(car engine humming softly… birds beginning outside…)]
(Yelling)
I’m homebound!
[Verse 1]
Spent so much time lost in my own mind
Running from fear like I was out of time
Every wrong turn felt permanent
Every bad night felt heavier than it meant
I carried pressure like it made me stronger
Held onto pain way longer than I should’ve
Thought if I kept moving, I’d outrun myself…
But I never could
And all those late nights driving nowhere
Were really just me trying to feel something
Trying to remember who I was…
Before everything got complicated
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how healing doesn’t look dramatic
Sometimes it’s just slowly coming back to yourself
[Chorus]
I’m finally homebound… (homebouuund)
Not fully there, but getting closer now
After all the roads I shouldn’t have taken
I finally turned this thing around
And maybe I still got scars… (got scaaars)
Maybe some nights still hit hard
But I’m done letting fear decide
Who I are
I’m finally homebound
[Verse 2]
I listened back to every old song
Heard pain, hope, growth all along
Even when I thought nobody cared
Those songs still carried me here
And every version of myself still matters
The kid with “Heart on My Sleeve” still lives after
All the pressure, all the doubt
All the nights I almost checked out
I used to think healing meant never falling
Now I know it’s getting back up when life’s calling
And maybe that’s enough…
Maybe that always was enough
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent years trying to find peace somewhere else
When it was slowly growing inside myself
[Chorus]
I’m finally homebound… (homebouuund)
Not fully there, but getting closer now
After all the roads I shouldn’t have taken
I finally turned this thing around
And maybe I still got scars… (got scaaars)
Maybe some nights still hit hard
But I’m done letting fear decide
Who I are
I’m finally homebound
[Bridge (stripped)]
(drums fade, soft steel enters)
No more running…
No more hiding from myself
Maybe home was never a place…
Maybe it was learning to accept myself
[Final Chorus (big emotional release and choir)]
I’m finally homeboundddddddd (homeboundddd)
After every sleepless night (Every night)
After every fear that told me (told meeeeee)
I’d never get my mind right (right)
And maybe life ain’t perfect… (perfecttt)
Maybe it never will be (will beeeee)
But for the first time in forever (foreverrrrrr)
I finally feel like me (like meeeeee)
[Outro]
I made it home
I survived the night… for now…
